Product Information

From the High Street, the winner is the Gillette Fusion ProGlide. The Flexball technology means it glides across the contours of the face with ease. Marcus Jaye was also impressed with the versatility of the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 groomer.

The Hydro 5 Sense Energize has our Ultra Glide® blades and a water-activated gel reservoir that smooths your shave for maximum comfort. In fact, every men’s razor in our Hydro range is designed around you, providing a tailored and reliable shave that suits your busy lifestyle while keeping your skin protected at every step. For those hard-to-reach spots there’s nothing quite like the Hydro 5 Groomer razor which combines expert trimming with gentle skincare. The razors are a far cry from their cheap supermarket contraptions, with the five-blade option particularly effective. It features Gillette's Flexball technology, which allows the razor head to pivot in all angles to respond to the contours of the face. "This is great for moving around your chin as the ball is designed to move over curved surfaces", says Jaye. Skin guards help smooth over the skin to prevent them from getting caught between the blades as they pass over the face

The razor was easy to use, with plenty of the lubricating strip", says Marcus Jaye. "It's a standard razor, but Bic do know how to make blades and have plenty of experience in this area." According to Jaye, a good razor is one that's "sharp, doesn't clog, and is easy and safe to use." Most good ones won't break your wallet, but it's worth forking out that little extra, as cheap, disposable razors often don't produce good results.

Jaye recommends the Gillette Fusion ProGlide as an easy-to-use shaver that provides a smooth, precise shave with minimal fuss.In terms of subscriptions, all companies offer a similar service, but our favourite is Harry's for its incredibly smooth results.
